If you know me, you know that I spend most of my Netflix browsing time looking at the Documentaries section. My List is also full of documentaries and other shows and movies dealing with crime, law, and anything similar to that. I have a infatuation with the show Cops, as I sit and watch marathons of its 22 seasons every night. But this doesn't just include documentaries about crime. I haven't all Netflix has to offer, but I like to watch a mix of different topics.

So, here is what I believe to be the best documentaries on Netflix.

1. 13th

"Filmmaker Ava DuVernay explores the history of racial inequality in the United States, focusing on the fact that the nation's prisons are disproportionately filled with African-Americans."

I actually had to watch this for a class I took last semester, but I THOROUGHLY enjoyed it. It opens your eyes to what is actually going on in America right now. The news doesn't show you everything. This documentary also talks about the prison boom that we are currently facing. Did you know that the U.S. has the highest rate of incarceration?

2. Casting JohnBenet

"After two decades of media speculation and public fascination, filmmakers explore the macabre legacy of the world's most famous child-murder case."

If you aren't aware, JonBenet was a 6-year-old pageant queen who was killed in her home in 1990. This documentary won't solve the crime, but it does give you a better look at what happened, and how it impacted others in their town of Boulder, CO.

3. Super Size Me

"Director Morgan Spurlock's social experiment in fast-food gastronomy sees him attempting to subsist uniquely on food from the McDonald's menu for an entire month. In the process his weight balloons, his energy level plummets and he experiences all sorts of unexpected -- and terrifying -- side effects. He also examines the corporate giant's growing role in the lives of American consumers and explores its methods of indoctrinating young people and its contribution to America's obesity epidemic."

I've seen this numerous times. It's gross, but it keeps you watching. You MIGHT not want to be eating McDonald's while watching this one...

4. The Lion In Your Living Room

"Despite that cats are the most-popular pet in the world, very little is known about them."

Okay, this one is just super cute and kinda of informative. I love cats, but I did not know some of what they talked about.

5. First Position

"A documentary that follows six young dancers from around the world as they prepare for the Youth America Grand Prix, one of the most prestigious ballet competitions in the world"

I watched this one while I still danced, but it was pretty entertaining, especially if you don't already know what it takes to become a professional ballet dancer.

6. Miss Representation

"Explores the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America, and challenges the media's limited portrayal of what it means to be a powerful woman."

I'm not someone who voices their opinion about feminisim and women in today's society, but this is such a great watch. I did not know many of the topics that were discussed, and it opens your eye to how women are treated in the media, today, yesterday, and probably forever.
